Boulevard Allal El Fassi

"Fes is well-known for producing the best pottery in Morocco. The local gray clay is much more hard-wearing than many clays used further south; items made from this material are often fired at volcanictemperatures, and usually capable of withstanding a microwave or dishwasher. Thepots are still painted by hand here. If you’re keen to stock up on treasures for your kitchen or dining room table, you have several options.Several stores along Talaa Kbirastock good-quality tableware, including our favorite, the Fondouk Tazi, which also offers some lovely modern designs. Continue into the bowl of the medina to the Henna Souk to find traditional patterns such as the tomato flower, various Berber motifs, and embroidery-inspired designs. Serious buyers hop in a taxi up to Ain Nokbi, the industrial quarter,tosee the potters at work. Theshops can also organize big shipments for you, but oversee the packaging yourself if you want it to arrive intact."
